A simple method for the estimation of glomerular filtration rate

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Investigation, 1977
A simple method is presented for indirect estimation of the glomerular filtration rate from two venous blood samples, drawn after a single injection of a small dose of [125I]sodium iothalamate (10 muCi). The method does not require exact dosage, as the first sample, taken a few minutes (t = 5 min) after injection, is used to normalize the value of the ...

Daclatasvir and reduced‐dose sofosbuvir: An effective and pangenotypic treatment for hepatitis C in patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min

Nephrology, 2019
Sofosbuvir is a key agent for HCV treatment. It is not recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)

Difficulties in Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in the Elderly

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1987
Estimates of glomerular filtration rate are generally obtained by measuring or estimating endogenous creatinine clearance. However, it may sometimes be difficult to obtain the necessary urine collections. Most of 19 healthy, reliable elderly outpatients were found unable to provide satisfactory 24-hour urine collections.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate; Laboratory Implementation and Current Global Status.

Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease, 2018
In 2002, the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines for identifying and treating CKD recommended that clinical laboratories report estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with every creatinine result to assist clinical practitioners to

Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rate: What Are the Pitfalls?

Current Hypertension Reports, 2011
Because of the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease, estimation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is necessary to diagnose, stage, and follow the progression of renal impairment, and to adjust the dosage of medications with predominantly renal excretion.

Kinetic estimated glomerular filtration rate as a predictor of successful continuous renal replacement therapy discontinuation

Nephrology, 2019
No standardized criteria for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) discontinuation have been established. Kinetic estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is a newly developed estimation method based on dynamic changes of serum creatinine ...

Estimating and measuring glomerular filtration rate in children

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2008
Glomerular filtration rate is the best determinant of kidney function in children. A decline in glomerular filtration rate may be the only sign of renal disease. A knowledge of glomerular filtration rate allows the clinician to appropriately dose medications, administer fluids, and intervene early to prevent end-stage renal failure.

Estimating Glomerular Filtration Rate in the Elderly

The Journal for Nurse Practitioners, 2007
Abstract At least two formulas are commonly used to estimate glomerular filtration rates. This article reviews these formulas and compares their practical application in clinical practice when the patient is elderly.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Bias in Participants with Severe Obesity Regardless of Deindexation

Obesity, 2019
Morbid obesity is associated with a higher independent risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) has been evaluated in a limited number of study participants with severe obesity.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Renal Function

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2008
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is an important clinical indicator of kidney function. It can be used as an independent predictor of long-term survival after cardiac surgery. Definition, methods of measurement, and corrected value by body surface area are briefly introduced in this paper.
